Playing for Keeps

It’s been eighteen years…and he still wants her! In high school, Malcolm Douglas was a bad boy who stole the heart of small-town girl Celia Patel-as well as her virginity. But life pulled them apart…and just as well, for he’d already broken her heart. Now Malcolm is a world-famous billionaire dedicated to atoning for his sins. When he swoops back into Celia’s life, he tells himself he only wants to protect her from recent threats. But the desire between them leaves them as breathless as teenagers. Will Celia ever forgive him? Maybe. If he can make today’s pleasure erase yesterday’s pain.
